Hi Everyone, Last week at VeeamON I was asking people about SIEMS, if they are using them and if so which ones?I got a myriad of answers. So I wanted to put up a poll here asking if you use and which one?  

Hello everybody,I could not find any Solution in VEEAM Backup and Replication Console, neither searching on the Internet.But I want to request a Feature, so we are able to create Folders in the Backup-Job-View to organzie Backup-Jobs. For example:Daily Jobs SQL Jobsetc.Thanks in advance.

When running multiple backups at the same time backups fail with this error stack. How can I solve this? RMAN-00571: ===========================================================RMAN-00569: =============== ERROR MESSAGE STACK FOLLOWS ===============RMAN-00571: ===========================================================RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on ORA_SBT_TAPE_1 channel at 05/06/2025 22:46:41ORA-27191: sbtinfo2 returned errorAdditional information: 3475ORA-19511: non RMAN, but media manager or vendor specific failure, error text: Broken pipe--tr:Cannot write data to the socket.

Hi,I’m using VBR 12.3.1.1139 and have already successfully migrated the configuration database to a local PostgreSQL server (which was installed during the VBR update/setup).Now I’d like to move from the local db server to a centralized one. Therefore I started the configuration “Restore” process and again chose”migrate”. Typed in hostname, database name, name and password of native authorization. But when clickin on “connect”, I get a dialog (from the db server?) that the connection is refused, the phrase is “no pg_hpa.conf entry for host <hhhh>, user <uuuu>, database <dddd>, SSL off”The problem seems to be “...database <dddd>...” whereas <dddd> is NOT what I entered into the migration dialog under “database name”. The centralized pg server only permits a certain database for each of their users.Our pg server tells me that VBR wants to connect to <dddd> where <dddd> is in fact the name of the user VBR is running

Hi all,I have a feature request: can it be made possible to offload backups of Azure SQL databases created with Veeam for Microsoft Azure from VBR to Wasabi or other object storage using a copy job?At the moment this is possible for Azure VM's of which backups are made on blob storage. For Azure SQL it is only possible to make backups on blob storage so there is actually no offsite backup possible… 

Hello I am running into this issue; any idea what could  caused it

I’ve got an Ubuntu 24.04 VM running in Proxmox VE which is backed up using Backup & Recovery Community edition.  The VM failed recently and I restored the VM back to Proxmox VE, but it just boots to Grub recovery. From what I understand, the problem is the VM is encrypted with LUKS which is transparent to Veeam.  I’ve read a few posts and guides on getting this to work, but I’m not having any luck.  I’m able to decrypt and mount the volume in a live environment, but I cannot get it to permanently mount in order to boot. Is there anything special that needs to be done for encrypted Ubuntu VMs in Proxmox or any guide for restoring LUKS VMs? 

I have moved VBR 12.3 to a Hyper-V VM as recommended. I would like to continue to use a set of USB drives for the backup copies. Is this possible?

Does anyone have recommendations for time settings on a Veeam hardened repo?  After researching, I’m seeing conflicting recommendations from use the internal CMOS clock, use an internal NTP server, or use an external NTP server.  Just wanted to see what some of the Veeam experts recommend.

As of the 27th March we have seen a significant increase in incremental backup size for our Microsoft 365 backup… Peaking at 800GB+ on the 31st! We have different jobs configured for different sources, for example we have separate jobs for:User Mailboxes Shared Mailboxes SharePoint Sites OneDrive SitesLooking at the size of each backup job, I think the increase in backup size is primarily due to the user mailbox jobs; the other jobs look ‘normal’ in terms of their size. Is anyone else seeing a sudden increase in backup size in the last couple of weeks?  Does anyone have any tips for pinpointing where the increase is coming from? 

Products:Veeam B&R Community Edition 12.3.1.1139 (Windows Server 2022) Windows Agent 6.3.1.1074 (Windows 11 Pro for Workstations, version 24H2)Using B&R Console I accidentally uninstalled CBT Driver from the Windows 11 PC, and now I cannot reinstall it anymore.The CBT driver is also missing from installed Windows apps and program list in the legacy Control panel.I tried to uninstall completely all components on that client, I removed it from my B&R Protection group, restarted it many times, but no avail.I also tried to install the standalone Agent, but the CBT driver install/uninstall option is missing from settings.Even command line method fails:Veeam.Agent.Configurator.exe -uninstallCBTDriverExitCode: 0Veeam.Agent.Configurator.exe -installCBTDriverExitCode: 20Errors:Failed to perform the operation.File exists

Following on from my previous post, I am now in a pickle because after uninstalling a failed install of VBR 12.3 and reinstalling 12.1 the system is incapable of backing up my VMs. Need to completely uninstall all 12.1 stuff and do a clean install and forget about importing the config. Stay tuned.

Hello,When we have rental license how we can calculate how many VM can be protected by the available license?  

Someone on the Community reported the error of this post - “All backup proxies are offline or outdated” here -https://community.veeam.com/topic/show?tid=6645&fid=66I ran in to this issue in my HomeLab and opened a ticket with Veeam Support about it.  I was able to figure out the issue myself and wanted to post the fix steps here so that if you run in to this issue you can take the steps needed to address it yourself.This error does not seem to report anything in the log files which was the first thing I checked.  So, the steps to fix it are as follows -Remove the Proxy from the Veeam console using Delete. Remove the server from Managed Servers section - this will uninstall the components from the server. Log in to the Proxy server to ensure all components for Veeam are gone - if not remo

Dear All,Let me ask for advice regarding the significant difference between the backup size and the repository size, which is causing inefficient storage usage and making it seem like deletions are not working properly. Below is my configuration: Source Backup: vMWare vCenter Destination Repository: Cloudian Object Storage Backup Frequency: Once per day Full Backup: Once per week Rettention: 7 Days Immutability: 5 days + 0 days (I modified the registry to set block generation to 0 days Capture:Rettention Policy (Job Configuration)Immutability (Repository Con
